There is a reason for USB-C extensions not to be part of the standard. They can be bothersome in the best case and dangerous in the worst.

    It’s a great explanation. However you have some pretty egregious use of commas that made it a lot more confusing. I had to read it over multiple times to fully understand.

    It may seem like nitpicking but these subtle issues end up making it harder to comprehend and overall results in more time and effort for everyone you’re trying to inform.

      You know you explained a topic pretty damn accurately when the Stranger On The Internet can only use the good ol’ “too many commas’” argument to bring you down.

        Why are you assuming he’s trying to bring the guy down? He could genuinely have a problem parsing the comment and you’re here just dismissing his experience.

        I didn’t know that assuming your experience applies to everyone is generally accepted in Lemmy nowadays, considering the voting ratio.

        I don’t agree with his point that there are too many commas, but implying that his experience is faked and his comment is made due to malicious intent is just particularly stupid.

          My comment was intended more to praise OP than to deride the person who replied. It was probably worded badly. I guess I should have said something more along the lines of ‘You know your argument is good when the only fault to be found by internet strangers is too many commas’.

            Yeah, that actually conveyed your meaning much better than your original wording. I understand what you meant now. That means my comment was way too aggressive for what you wanted to convey, so I will apologize.

              What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little shit? Ill have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and Ive been involved in numerous secret…

              Oh. Oh wait. I think the shock of what I just read reverted me to default internet discussion… Was that just a polite exchange where we saw the others point of view, then both admitted we could have done better? Nice!
